Biden and his party......

Ready to make millions of citizens into instant felons who never did anything wrong and never would have if they don't turn in or and pay to register their semi auto firearm. Which there will be a low compliance if they try.

At the same time, millions who break immigration laws, Biden and his party are ready to give amnesty AND free healthcare.

Emptying current jail cells , so citizens who never broke a law before deemed instant felons for not paying to keep their gun can occupy the cell instead.

Yeah that is such a moderate position

We don't have to let them give away free health care. We don't have to let them allow illegals into the country.

And we don't have to vote for Republicans either. Just vote for moderates. There are lots of middle of the road politicians on both sides and enough to not let these idiotic things happen. I've voted for Biden and I'm aligned with the same things he wants but not illegals and I want health care to be affordable and priced fairly.

She was chosen because she is a woman, because she is other than white and because she will tow the leftist desires, Biden didn't choose her his party chose her for him.

Of course any hard question she is asked will be "kackle kackle Its my perspective just a woman that is black and has a mother from India and I like hip hop".

Imagine if the democrats were in charge of who is the team to go to Mars, it won't be who is most qualified it will be "well we have to have a astronaut who is black, one that is a woman, maybe a gay person but a gay white man might be ok"

Biden is a moderate centrist stop the "radical left" nonsense

^^^

Biden is no radical and he is no "puppet" of radicals as the Trump campaign and those who mimic it shout ad nauseum. He rejects leftist ideas such as defunding the police, the Green New Deal and Medicare-for-all, and he hasn’t committed to abolishing the filibuster or expanding the Supreme Court. It’s true that he is now promoting a more liberal agenda than past Democratic nominees, including phasing out carbon emissions by 2050, expanding Medicare and trillions of dollars in economic stimulus. But that is not because he has suddenly shifted to the left. It’s because much of the country has moved left as a result of our three crises: systemic racism, COVID-19 and global warming. Biden’s views reflect the new center.

Biden believes in compromise and bipartisanship, hardly radical ideas. Biden can admit when he has made a mistake and change course, hardly the hallmarks of a wild eyed radical. Biden listens to experts — including physicians and scientists. He has surrounded himself with experienced and competent aides of centrist sensibilities.

Trump and his radical right conspiracy theorists and loyalists are trying to paint a picture of Biden that no one recognizes. The Trump attacks are so outlandish that they defy credulity.
Quote:
To hear Trump tell it, the former vice president and longtime U.S. senator is “the most extreme left-wing candidate in history.” Biden is going to “abolish the police” and “abolish the suburbs.” Biden is even “against God.”....In lobbing such extravagant attacks on Biden, Trump has concocted a profile of the Democratic candidate at odds with much of Biden’s personal and professional life — a cartoonish depiction so distant from the reality of Biden that the hits don’t resonate.

Biden's path to the White House runs largely though moderate America where voters are sick of the radical right and the most corrupt anti-democratic POTUS to ever occupy the Oval Office.

Joe Biden has the intellectual capacity of a rutabaga. He'll do whatever his handlers tell him to do.

Speaker Ocasio-Cortez will invoke the 25th Amendment on him.

Have you realized yet that Trump exaggerates absolutely everything?

Do you think any socialists actually consider Biden one of them?

Before this election it would sound stupid to say Biden was radical left

and it still does.

Even Bernie Sanders is actually more representative of a Scandinavian "Social Democrat" mixed economy
than to a actual socialism where all industry is nationalized and there are no private companies

Half the country is Republican and there is the House and Congress to contend with.
Even if a president had some hardcore socialist policy they couldn't get it passed
and Biden if far from it. Let's stop the hyperbole people are tired of the whiplash
"A joint effort by former Vice President Joe Biden and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders to unify Democrats around Biden's candidacy has produced a 110-page policy wish list to recommend to the party's presumptive presidential nominee."

""The goals of the task force were to move the Biden campaign into as progressive a direction as possible, and I think we did that," Sanders told NPR. "On issue after issue, whether it was education, the economy, health care, climate, immigration, criminal justice, I think there was significant movement on the part of the Biden campaign."

So, why did biden sign it?

"The document recommends that Biden commit to eliminating carbon pollution from power plants by 2035 and to zeroing out net greenhouse gas emissions across the entire economy by 2050. The task forces call for funding universal prekindergarten across the country, expanding Social Security, raising the national minimum wage and eliminating cash bail, among many other long-sought progressive stances."

"And I am deeply grateful to Senator Sanders for working together to unite our party, and deliver real, lasting change for generations to come."

He is not going to able able to achieve much of that. The proposals ahead of the Democratic National Convention don’t include the kind of systemic upheaval that won Sanders so many followers.

But why even so is it a little more progressive than expected? Answer: the intense polarization that Donald Trump is constantly pushing
